Scripting Gap Analysis

[dmccray]

Is there any way to extract a list of canned workflows from the latest version of WFA along with a description what they do? IHAC, that would like a gap analysis to see if there will be any scripting required on their part when the canned workflows in WFA are matched against current processes and procedures.  We have a production instance of Provisioning/Protection manager to get information from if this would help us.

You can access the WFs of WFA using REST with the following url and use them in your scripts

http://<wfaserver-or-localhost>:<port>/rest/workflows/

Multiple ways to do it. Powershell3.0 and Rest API is the easiest one I think. The following is the sample code.

====

#Credentials of WFA. Modify as per your setup

$user = "admin"

$pass = "admin"

#Address: Modify as per your settings.

$add = "http://1.2.3.4/rest/workflows"

$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString $pass -AsPlainText -Force

$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($user, $secpasswd)

$wf=Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $add -Method Get -Credential $creds -ContentType "application/xml" -Headers @{"Authorization"="Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4="}

$workflow  = $wf.collection.workflow

foreach ( $wfk in $workflow ) {

$wfk.name

$wfk.description

}

If you're after the descriptions, parameters, etc of workflows, commands (including code), etc, you can use the WFA online Help | Reference Manual page.
